WITNESS THE AMAZING SANDHILL CRANE FALL MIGRATION at Jasper Pulaski State Fish & Game Area near Medaryville, IN. Peak time is usually OCTOBER-NOVEMBER. http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/3091.htm This is an amazing spectacle when thousands of these big birds congregate in an open field near an observation platform. They no longer allow camping in the park, but there are numerous campgrounds nearby. (15 points)
